need help with my drives

[FlamingZebra63]

just bought a new computer yesterday, and im not sure why but the default drive is the C drive.. this drive holds my os and is much smaller (250gb) and im trying to use my D drive as my main drive as well as my desktop default location (adding a folder to my desktop saves it and its contents in the C drive, im trying to get it in the D drive) (2Tb) i cant figure out what i need to do so if anyone can tell me what i need to do that would be greatly appreciated

If you right click on your desktop library, then properties, you can set a different location to your d drive.

how do I move my "program x86 folder"?

I have this going on... so whenever I download an app.. say a large game for example because it goes into "program files" I cant download it, the small drive has not enough space.

You probabaly want most of your program on your ssd as it will make them much faster. Don't just move the whole folder.

Of the properties of the desktop location, so under desktop, then properties, the location.
